WHAT IS TRAIL TURN ASSIST
Trail turn assist can reduce the turningradius of your vehicle by applying thebrakes to the inside rear wheel inlow-speed, high steering-angle maneuvers.
TRAIL TURN ASSIST
PRECAUTIONS
Note:Do not use trail turn assist on dry,hard surfaced roads. Doing so can produceexcessive noise, increase tire wear and maydamage drive line, or braking components.Trail turn assist is only intended for slippery,or loose surfaces.
You may hear noise from the anti-lockbrake system while trail turn assist isactive. This is normal operation.
TRAIL TURN ASSIST
LIMITATIONS
You can only use trail turn assist when thesystem is in four-wheel drive high (4H), orfour-wheel drive low (4L) mode.
You cannot use trail turn assist with therear differential engaged. If the systemdetects that the rear differential hasrecently been engaged, it may not activatetrail turn assist until it can confirm that therear differential is disengaged.
If the vehicle’s rear differential is engagedwhen pressing the trail turn assist button,the rear differential will attempt todisengage to allow for trail turn assistoperation.
SWITCHING TRAIL TURN
ASSIST ON AND OFF

Continued operation increases the enginetemperature, causing the engine tocompletely shut down. Your steering andbraking effort increases in this situation.
When the engine temperature cools, youcan re-start the engine. Have your vehiclechecked as soon as possible to minimizeengine damage.
When Fail-Safe Mode Is Activated
WARNING: Fail-safe mode is foruse during emergencies only. Operateyour vehicle in fail-safe mode only aslong as necessary to bring your vehicleto rest in a safe location and seekimmediate repairs. When in fail-safemode, your vehicle will have limitedpower, will not be able to maintainhigh-speed operation, and maycompletely shut down without warning,potentially losing engine power, powersteering assist, and power brake assist,which may increase the possibility of acrash resulting in serious injury.
WARNING: Do not remove thecoolant reservoir cap when the engine ison or the cooling system is hot. Wait 10minutes for the cooling system to cooldown. Cover the coolant reservoir capwith a thick cloth to prevent thepossibility of scalding and slowly removethe cap. Failure to follow this instructioncould result in personal injury.
Your vehicle has limited engine powerwhen in the fail-safe mode, drive yourvehicle with caution. Your vehicle does notmaintain high-speed operation and theengine could operate poorly.
Remember that the engine is capable ofautomatically shutting down to preventengine damage. In this situation:
1.Pull off the road as soon as safelypossible and switch the engine off.
2.If you are a member of a roadsideassistance program, we recommendthat you contact your roadsideassistance service provider.
3.If this is not possible, wait for a shortperiod of time for the engine to cool.
4.Check the coolant level. If the coolantlevel is at or below the minimum mark,add prediluted coolant immediately.
5.When the engine temperature cools,you can re-start the engine. Have yourvehicle checked as soon as possible tominimize engine damage.
Note:If you continue to drive your vehiclein fail-safe mode without repairing it, youwill damage your engine.
Engine Coolant TemperatureManagement (If Equipped)
WARNING: To reduce the risk ofcrash and injury, be prepared that thevehicle speed may reduce and thevehicle may not be able to acceleratewith full power until the coolanttemperature reduces.
If you tow a trailer with your vehicle, theengine may temporarily reach a highertemperature during severe operatingconditions, for example ascending a longor steep grade in high ambienttemperatures.
At this time, you may notice the coolanttemperature gauge moves toward the redzone and a message may appear in theinformation display.
